Mantra Pushpam
[The flower of Vedic Chants]
[This great mantra is taken from Taithreeya Aranyakam of Yajur Veda. It is normally sung in a chorus by
all the priests together after performing any Pooja (worship) or Yagna. It tells in short that water is the
basis of this universe. The reason why it is repeated in all functions is not known to me. What I have
attempted is a simple translation of this great chant.]
